## Season 1 Featured $10 Million Finale Jackpot

Season 1 ended last year with Donaldson doubling the finale prize to a record $10 million-plus, awarding the grand prize to **Jeff Allen**. Donaldson listed several other major payouts, including $1.8 million to **Mia Speight** in the form of a private island, $1 million to **Gage Gallagher** tied to a self-elimination deal, plus $650,000 for **JC Gallego Iori** and $450,000 for **Esteban Zepeda**.

He also cited smaller awards, including $200,000 for **Akira Andrews**, which included a Lamborghini, and $19,231 payouts for dozens of first-episode elimination deals.

## Season 2 Crowns Winner, Renewals Continue

Season 2, which leaned into a "Smart vs. Strong" theme, ended with **Tyler Lucas** winning about $5.1 million after a final briefcase-guessing challenge, according to coverage of the finale. Donaldson's post listed other top payouts, including $1,198,000 for **Brett Stewart** and $520,000 for **Monika**, among others.

Prime Video renewed "Beast Games" for two additional seasons in May 2025. Donaldson, meanwhile, has also said Season 1 proved expensive to make, describing major financial losses in media interviews.

The franchise has faced legal trouble, too. In September 2024, some Season 1 contestants sued Donaldson's company and Amazon, alleging mistreatment, harassment and unpaid wages. Donaldson said at the time the claims had been "blown out of proportion."
